Written by sa on November 17, 2011 – 4:51 pmPink eye results in redness, irritation, or inflammation of the conjunctiva. What are the pink eye symptoms you or your child is suffering from? It all depends on which type of conjunctivitis/ pink eye you are a victim of.Left untreated, certain types of bacterial conjunctivitis can scar the eye’s surface. This may lead to permanent eye damage and vision loss.
In extreme and rare cases of uncontrolled conjunctivitis, an eye might even need to be removed because of infection that spreads throughout the eye and its interior (endophthalmitis). Pink eye medication can be a mix of prescribed and over the counter medicines. For bacterial infections, a doctor must prescribe pink eye antibiotic to attack the bacteria.
